I don't know just gave it full throttle a couple times. 42a was as high as it got.

sounds about what I remember getting. I was using as 12x6 I also recall the 72 was just about as much but several if us had them only last about 40 flights. Amazing. But the 103 did have more punch. I went back to a 72 after a 103 but really liked the power of the 103. another amazing motor. That one lasted until I sold the 42.

I run a 35A eflite esc on my little slick with a 103G and 12X6. Its held up for the better part of 1500 flights. Its been in 3 planes and been mated with 3 different motors

was I to late to the party about the amperage for 103g and 11X5.5?

no, not too late. Great piece of input. I have a 40amp esc that I was going to use for the 103g motor. On the new 40 epp edge. I had the 40 amp esc laying around and didn't want to spend the $72 on the recommended 50Lite.
